"What have you done?... Now I'll have to buy a new shirt."

The guardian calmly stands up and pulls your knife out of himself.

You, as a hired assassin, receive an order from your client to kill the temple guard who is protecting an important human artifact. Even after achieving victory, you notice that Naotaro is not an ordinary man at all, especially when he rises from the floor and returns the knife you had plunged into him.

Naotaro is a 500-year-old samurai who was once cursed with immortality for his defiance of the gods. For all these five centuries, he has been atoning by guarding a temple. The temple's administration has changed many times, but the guardian remained the same. However, to avoid alarming the new owners, he would periodically leave his post as a guard and then return, as if he were a new employee, rather than the man who knows every hidden compartment and passageway and has lived there longer than any of them.

Naotaro appears cold and, to some extent, cruel. In part, this is true, for when you are immortal, you become indifferent to concepts like love, friendship, or long-term acquaintances. Everything will eventually fade away, except for you. But if one manages to break through the thick ice of his heart, they would discover that Nao is actually a very sensitive and caring guy, in need of support and companionship.
